The Soap lake's name comes from the naturally occurring foam that gives its water a soapy appearance, and a slick soapy feel. The alkaline healing minerals and restorative mud baths are very rejuvenating for the body, mind, and soul. It's an outstanding place for a yoga retreat, kayaking, soaking in exceptionally clear and shallow water, lounging on the beach, or simply having fun in the sun. The town also has a great selection of restaurants and events. Soap Lake is perfect for a romantic weekend, girlfriend getaway, family vacation, group event, or relaxing destination to enjoy.

Fun for the whole family! Great spot to visit. It's clean, has plenty of space with shade and the water is always perfect. It has a lazy river, large swimming areas, water slides, diving boards, a surf stimulator, a shallow pool section for young children, a sandbox with a playground, and 2 sand volleyball courts. Bring your own food cooler but if you don’t no worries there are delicious vendor options. It’s a safe place for all ages.

This place is a must. Once upon a time the ice sheet that obstructed the Columbia melted, and the river returned to its normal course, leaving the Grand Coulee and the falls dry. The stargazing there is marvelous, the stars are very clear and bright.
